University of Louisville Reaffirmation of Commitment to Equal Educational & Employment Opportunity

The University of Louisville is committed to and will provide equality of educational and employment opportunity for all persons regardless of race, sex, age, color, national origin, ethnicity, creed, religion, diversity of thought, political viewpoint, social viewpoint, disability, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity and expression, marital status, pregnancy, or veteran status. The university aims to achieve, within all areas of the university community, a diverse student body, faculty, and staff capable of providing for excellence in the education of its students and for the enrichment of the university community.

Statement on Diversity in the University Community

The University of Louisville strives to foster and sustain an environment of inclusiveness that empowers us all to achieve our highest potential without fear of prejudice or bias. We commit ourselves to building an exemplary educational Community that offers and promotes a nurturing and challenging intellectual climate, a respect for the spectrum of human intellectual diversity, and a genuine understanding of the many differences that enrich a vibrant metropolitan research university.

Unlawful Harassment, Personal Discrimination, and Retaliation

The University of Louisville's Discriminatory Harassment Policy reflects the commitment to maintain a community that is free from harassment of any kind. Harassment of any kind is not acceptable at the university. It is inconsistent with the university's commitment to excellence and respect for all individuals. The university is also committed to protecting the academic freedom and freedom of expression of all members of the university community. Academic freedom and freedom of expression includes, but is not limited to, the expression of ideas, however controversial, in the classroom, residence hall, and in keeping with different responsibilities, in work places elsewhere in the university community. The University of Louisville is committed to and will provide equality of educational and employment opportunity for all persons regardless of race, sex, age, color, national origin, ethnicity, creed, religion, diversity of thought, political viewpoint, social viewpoint, disability, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity and expression, marital status, pregnancy, or veteran status.
